Introduction

Health is something that has always been observed by any person for the sake of survival.
Healthy lifestyle habits should be a society that is able to be applied in daily life - today.
Exercise regularly, consumption of nutritious foods and balanced to support a better life. An
unhealthy diet , such as eating foods high in fat , salt , sugar -free and low in carbohydrates
complex , vegetables and fruits, the main cause of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease
, diabetes mellitus and Hyperuricemia ( Sacher , 2004; Kumar et al. 2012).
Various types of synthetic drugs used in medicine for example to decrease uric acid ,
allopurinol denan cause allergic reactions , stomach disorders, bowel , headache , dizziness ,
fever and blood disorders ( Tjay & Rahardja , 2007). Using of drugs that lower koleserol

examples drugs of gemfibrozi drug , fenofibrate and bezafibrat of fibrate acid group which is
usually used in patients with type III hiperlipoproteinemia and severe hypertriglyceridemia ,
has side effects gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea , diarrhea , flatulence , and others.
Class of drugs such as cholestyramine and colestipol resins commonly used in patients with
hypercholesterolemia, also give side effects such as nausea, vomiting , and constipation, but is
reduced after some time of taking the drug. Likewise, the treatment of chronic hyperglycemia
USING insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs are relatively more expensive because of its use in

the long term and can cause unwanted side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to find an
alternative treatment, especially from natural sources that are safer, does not have efeksamping
and effective for use in the treatment of gout, hiperkolesetrolemia and hyperglycemia.
Goat milk has the advantage in the composition of which have natural antiseptic
properties that can suppress the development and breeding of bacteria in the body. This is due
to Fluorine whose levels reach 10-100 times greater than in cow's milk, alkaline that is safe for
the body, protein soft and mild laksatif effect so it does not cause diarrhea to consume, there

are fats that are easily digested because it has the texture soft and smooth, smaller than a grain
of beef fa. Cow's milk fat droplet 4.55 um ( micrometer ) and goat's milk only 3,49um. It is
easier for the liver to digest thus reduce allergic reactions. The presence of sodium (Na),
fluorine (F), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) as the dominant chemical elements and the
amount of other nutrients, goat milk is believed to cure some kidney disorders, such as nephrotic
syndrome ,infection - kidney infection and gout high (Moeljanto & Wiryanta, 2002) .
Goat milk is processed fermented yoghurt made has advantages compared with fresh
goat's milk, and serves to avoid pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there
is fluid in the process of making yoghurt called whey contains sodium (Na) is very high, so the
joint stiffness is preventable and curable (Moeljanto & Wiryanta, 2002). Yogurt contains
vitamin B1 , vitamin B1 which has the structural formula similar to allopurinol (Setiawan &
Suyono , 2012). Allopurinol is a compound that is often used as a drug suppresses the
production of uric acid in the body of the patient because these compounds can inhibit the action
of xanthine oxidase. Several hypotheses about the decreased levels of cholesterol by
Lactobacillus bacteria , namely : 1) the cholesterol that is in kimus eaten by bacteria, so that
cholesterol is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract decreases. 2 ) cholesterol can be bound to
the bacterial cell surface or incorporated into the bacterial cell membrane or in convection
becomes coprostanol by cholesterol reductase produced by a strain of Lactobacillus. 3 )
inhibited the formation of micelles by probiotik.Bakteri Lactobacillus strains can produce
ferulic acid (FA), which can inhibit sterol HMGCoAreductase and secrete acid, so that blood

cholesterol levels can be decreased (Duchesneau,et al.2014). Yogurt is a probiotic product.
Probiotics are living organisms that can provide beneficial effects to health if consumed in
sufficient quantities ( Muhammadshahi , et al, 2014). This makes researchers are interested to
know the effectiveness of goat's milk yoghurt starter against the various levels of uric acid, total
cholesterol and blood glucose in male white rats ( Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain ).

Results And Discussion

Levels of Uric Acid Research
The observation of 30 days after administration of the goat milk yogurt uric acid levels

Uric acid levels given placebo group was given yogurt goat milk is 3.75 mg/dl. Highest
compared to the group of uric kadar`asam goat's milk yoghurt with starterLactobacillus
bulgaricus with the average - average uric acid levels in rats 2.5 mg/dl , with
starterStreptococus thermophilus has a value - average of 2.4 mg/dl and a mixed starter
(Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus ) obtained value - average of 2.65
mg/dl. Lowest levels of uric acid in the treatment of streptococcus thermophilus starter has a
value - average of 2.4 mg / dl , but the result is the same as the treatment of Lactobacillus
bulgaricus starter with the average - average uric acid levels in rats 2.5 mg / dl. The results of
this study shows that the goat milk yogurt can lower blood uric acid levels . This is explained

by Setiawan & Suyono ( 2012) ; Anandagiri , et al ( 2014 ) on goat milk yogurt has vitamin B1
which possess similar chemical strutur allopurinol to inhibit xanthine oxidase work such
compounds will compete with xanthine and hypoxanthine, so the amount of uric acid is the end
product xanti conversion can be suppressed.

blood glucose levels in male rats can be seen in Table 2.

LSD test results shown that the treatment group goat milk yogurt starter, especially with
a mixture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermopilus proven most effective at
lower blood glucose levels. Starter mixture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus
thermopilus little has activities that are more effective than starter not mix, due to the
combination of the two starter will form a mutually beneficial relationship mutualism or
symbiosis. Streptococcus thermopilus produces formic acid which can stimulate the growth of
Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Furthermore,Lactobacillus bulgaricus produces amino acids glycine
and histidine needed for the growth of Streptococcus thermopilus (Yunita, D.,Rohaya S,N., &
Maulina Husna, 2011). Glucose levels highest real control group compared to the group treated
yogurt. This is because yogurt contains Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), which can increase insulin
sensitivity, especially in the IRS (Insuline Receptor Substrate) by reducing the formation of fat
in the body of mice that is more effective at and insulin secretion in a glucose transfer to cell
to be optimized. The results of this study reinforced by research conducted by (Naydenovi.K.,
et al.,2012) which states that the yogurt is a functional food that is able to work as an antidiabetic
and antioxidant. According Sulistyoningrum(2010) resistance or reduced insulin secretion in
the blood caused by the accumulation of fat, high cholesterol levels and hypertension.

LSD test results showed that the placebo group (water) treatment significantly different
stater Lactobacillus, Streptococcus significantly different, and the mixture (Lactobacillus and
Streptococcus). While the Lactobacillus group-Streptococcus, mix - Lactobacillus, and

mixtures - Streptococcus was not significantly different can lower total cholesterol levels in
male rats. Total cholesterol levels placebo treatment (water) had the highest blood cholesterol
levels compared to the other treatment groups, namely Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and
mixture (Lactobacillus and Streptococcus). This is because of LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria ) in
the treatment group were able to survive in the gut and help the fermentation process and the
process dekonjugasi empedu.Proses salt helps reduce plasma cholesterol levels by cutting
through the mechanism of conjugation Bile Salt Deconjugation. Not only mechanism Bile Salt
Deconjugation, but the cell bodies of the bacteria asamlaktat able to bind cholesterol in the
digestive tract, so cholesterol can not be absorbed by the intestinal lumen and out along with
feces (Kumar,et al., 2012). Another factor is the amount of vitamin E in goat milk fat is able to
function as antioxidants and able to control contents cholesterol in the blood (Sodik & Abidin,
2008).

Conclusion

Based on the results and discussion of this study , it can be concluded as follows :
1.
Yoghurt goat milk is effective in lowering the levels of uric acid, glucose and blood
cholesterol h in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus Wistar strain)
2.
Yogurt mixed starter of goat milk with Lactobacillus bulgaricus with Streptococcus
thermopilus more effective than a single starter yogurt.
